Note
Gaskell notes that the titlepage is in two states, cancelled and uncancelled: (1) in the cancellandum the first word in line 8 was printed "Sampson", then the "pson" was erased and "son" carelessly overprinted, possibly by hand; (2) in the cancellans the whole titlepage is reset, using some of the same type, "Samson" correct.

Includes: 'Comus'.
Uncontrolled note
Unable to see cancels in both B.L. copies
